Isn't that call for a little concern? What is saw at the spring game was absolutely PATHETIC! I understand that there were a lot of factors which hindered our kicking game but to say that it leaves a little to be desired is an understatement.

I am so excited about next season but people have to realize the impact that a good kicking game can bring to our offensive play calling. It can boost the confidence on a whole series of downs.

Man, some people will b**ch about anything.  This USF team is by far the deepest, most talented team we have ever had.  We have a stud QB, an awesome D, brought in a 5 star RB, and finally some depth at almost every position.

The kicking game is not just about the kicker - a few sane people brought up the fact that the longsnapper didn't play in the Spring game.  How about waiting to judge things until the whole unit is together?  If you follow USF football, the kicking game has historically been solid.  

Chill, people and appreciate all the positives!

None of that matters when we're goin for it on 4th down and long, down by 2 with 1:20 left, from the 30.

Ask Rutgers how important it is to have a kicker.

I really liked his hip-hop song for last season's bowl game.

yeah - we might have a program history of strong kickers --- BUT lately we've been the team that takes em down to the wire. There's a reason its called FOOTBALL. We need a kicker. No ifs ands or buts about it. We need one and we don't have one. Well, we do- but ya'll know what I mean.

I'm serious - USF seems like the kind of place I would want to come if I was a young kicker. Nice weather, academics are pretty strong, pretty girls, DI, BE...PLUS - FL is a soccer and football haven. theres tons of talent right here in our state! Why the difficulty?!

Its not rocket science!!

I'm not saying the kicking game isn't imprortant - in fact, I probably think special teams is more important than most fans.  I'm just saying that you can't say we don't have a kicker just yet.  Let's wait and see the whole unit together, healthy.  And in the meantime, enjoy the positives!

youre just setting yourself up for a MAJOR letdown when we need a simple FG/PAT.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
